Mt. San Jacinto Tram

Palm Springs aerial tram car, originally uploaded by edhiker.

I Just want to show my readers what kind of terrain the tram allows you to bypass on the way to the top. I do not know what kind of warnings people are given about the terrain and conditions at the top of the mountain. The tram leaves Palm Springs. A major tourist area. The conditions in Palm Springs(elevation 479 ft.) and the top of Mt. San Jacito (10,834 ft) vary greatly. The tram lets tourists off at 8,516 ft. It was 19 degrees at 8:20 this am.

If you want more pictures of the tram they are here or at the Tram's web site. Also, flickr photos of the mountain.
